Congress Breaks its own Law?

Everyone remember the CDA? The Communications Decency act in 1996 telecom legislation that would have made the sentence "You can find out about abortion survival rates from the National Institutes of Health" illegal to put on this web page?

Now also recall that just recently congress voted to make the Ken Starr report available to the american people via the web.

Had the CDA not been repealed, Ken Starr could have been punished with up to $250,000 in fines and 5 years in jail for doing what congress asked! Over 90% of Republicans casting both votes and over 50% of Democrats casting both votes voted "Aye" for both.
